LiftMaster has launched a new line of modernized smart openers equipped with integrated LED lighting, a built-in camera, battery backup and smart home technology.
Pioneered to perfection, the new suite of openers is powered by myQ® technology that enables convenient and secure access experiences and keeps track of the garage system’s health for quick and easy service repairs when needed. Their sleek, attractive design replaces the ordinary garage door opener with an aesthetically pleasing and highly functional smart home device. LiftMaster’s new openers include unique features not found in other openers on the market today, including a built-in camera that adds streaming video, recorded events, motion detection and 2-way communication to the myQ app so homeowners can see what’s happening and ensure their family and prized possessions are safe and secure.
“The garage has become the main home entry for 70 percent of today’s households. It is also becoming an important extension of the home, a multifunctional space that often pulls double-duty as a rec room or a gym,” said Jackie Lorenty, LiftMaster’s Senior Vice President, Residential. “To ensure such an important space is functional, inviting and secure, homeowners need a powerful smart home device that not only reliably opens and closes the garage door but adds value to the home and daily life.”
How Are Garages Changing?
According to the New American Home Study, during the pandemic 49% percent of millennial homeowners transformed their garage into a gym, additional storage space or home office. The study found that 78% of homeowners across generations intend to make changes to their garage, confirming that using the garage space for new uses is not a trend that will change anytime soon. Also, according to the study, 75% of homeowners plan to upgrade technology within the home. These combined stats confirm the changes LiftMaster has seen over the years in homeowners’ preferences for a smart garage door opener with enhanced features that make the garage more functional, inviting and secure.
“You don’t need a brand-new sports car to gain garage envy from your neighbors, all you need is a new LiftMaster smart garage door opener powered by myQ,” added Lorenty.
LiftMaster’s new product line includes four new openers with different feature sets and a range of price points. Notable new features in LiftMaster’s new line of garage door openers include:
